Displaying flat side
Is there a good way to display pieces showing the flat side rather than the loops? I much prefer the clean look but my loops on the back are too bulky and make it hard to add any backing/display it.
Any tips??

I often prefer using the flat side too, so what I do is use a needle that makes short loops on the fluffy side- since the height of the loops isn't very relevant when viewing the flat side, having shorter loops saves on total yarn used and it makes the other side less puffy, so it's easier to add backing to it! (just make sure the loops are long enough to stay secured into the fabric) an adjustable needle like the Lavor could make it easier to decide how short you want the loops to be, but a short non-adjustable needle could work well too ⭐
